Z-19 fitted with Longbow-style radar breaks cover

摘要

The first images have emerged of a new variant of the Harbin Z-19 light attack helicopter equipped with a new mast-mounted active millimeter-wave (MMW) radar that appears similar to the Lockheed Martin AN/APG-78 Longbow fire control radar fitted to the Boeing AH-64 Apache. Sources on Chinese military web pages have indicated it may be a lightweight version of a mast-mounted radar originally designed for the seven-tonne Changhe Z-10.
